Zhuge Liang once secretly estimated that there should be two or three thousand gold in the lord's small treasury.

Nowadays, gold is expensive and copper is cheap, and these gold cakes can be exchanged for almost 40 million yuan.

Converted into grain, it is almost more than 100,000 stones of grain and grass. Of course, this is just a theory of value, if it is really a large-scale purchase of grain, it is inevitable that the price of grain will soar, and there will not be so much grain to sell on the market.

Therefore, in Zhuge Liang's mind, the lord's small treasury has no problem supporting the current pension.

If 8,000 people were killed in the battle, and the lord has not been able to take the entire territory of Hanzhong, where will he Zhuge Liang still have the face?

As for the capture of Hanzhong, the tax may not be able to support such a high pension.

But don't forget the topography of Hanzhong!

Hanzhong is surrounded by other mountains, what are there in the mountains?

As far as Zhuge Liang knows, there are not only gold mines, but also iron ore and copper mines in several mountains in Shu, which is the source of money.

It is said that Shuzhong is too far away, and the Qinling Mountains and Jingshan near the left of Hanzhong also have gold, iron and copper mines.

As long as the lord takes the entire territory of Hanzhong, these mineral deposits can be mined.

In the future, will Uncle Liu Huang be short of money?

Of course, now, Zhuge Liang will not say anything about these mineral deposits. If you want to say, you have to wait until the lord seizes the entire territory of Hanzhong.

……

Regarding the issue of the pension being too high, the county government was silent for a long time.

After a while, Liu Bei seemed to have figured out something, and decisively said: "In the future, the pension in the army will be implemented like this!" ”

Then, Liu Bei asked again: "So, what about the arrangements for disabled veterans?" ”

Compared with the pension, the way out for the disabled veterans is what Uncle Liu Huang is most concerned about.

According to the usual practice, disabled veterans are basically no longer allowed to go to the battlefield, and they are all discharged on the spot after a pension is paid. As for the future life and death of disabled veterans, it seems that no prince will care about it today.

However, the fate of disabled veterans can shake the hearts of the military.

Therefore, Uncle Liu Huang can't help but care.

Zhuge Liang poured tea again for Pang Tong and the lord, and then replied: "Wounded soldiers are divided into minor injuries and serious injuries. ”

"Soldiers who have recovered from minor injuries can return to the team, but they also need to be paid, but this pension can be more or less, ranging from 100 to 500 yuan, which is fine, and it should not be heavy."

"Those who are seriously injured are naturally soldiers who are so disabled that they need to retire."

"These disabled veterans are actually very easy to arrange."

"The lord has only one city now, and in the future, when the lord seizes Hanzhong, there will be dozens of cities. Except for the front line and border cities that need garrisons, the hinterland and rear cities can almost not need garrisons. ”

"It is only necessary to set up a team of auxiliaries in each county, one as a government service for the county order to drive, and the other is to arrest bandits and picket lawlessness on weekdays."

"This team of auxiliaries doesn't need much, fifty is enough. Among the disabled veterans, those with sound legs, one arm, or one eye can be filled. ”

"In this way, a county can accommodate more than 50 disabled veterans."

Speaking of this, Liu Bei bowed slightly. This arrangement can indeed settle some veterans. One county can arrange a way out for 50 disabled veterans, 10 counties is 500, and 100 counties is 5,000.

It's just that there will still be a lot of wounded soldiers in the future.

……

"Of course, in the midst of a great struggle, the number of disabled veterans will only increase, and this arrangement can only be arranged a little."

"However, it is precisely because of the great controversy that the lord still needs to be conscripted." Zhuge Liang continued.

Liu Bei and Pang Tong were a little puzzled.

Conscription is inevitable, but conscription doesn't seem to have anything to do with those disabled veterans, right?

Could it be that those disabled veterans can be humiliated in the army again?

Zhuge Liang explained: "In the future, conscription does not need to be directly recruited into the army, but a guard camp is set up in each county. ”

"Recruits recruited in each county are trained in the nearest guard camp in that county. In three months, or half a year, those who pass the training will be sent to the army. These recruits who have been trained and qualified will be able to become qualified combat effectiveness when they enter the army. ”

"In this way, no matter how big the battle damage on the front line is, the lord can even replenish it."

"Of course, there is only one guard battalion in each county, and only five hundred recruits are recruited every year, which is presided over by the county lieutenant."

"In this way, the young and strong of the people will not be forcibly recruited."

"In the battalion, the instructors who train the recruits, as well as the temporary team members of the recruits, can be filled by disabled veterans."

"In this way, each guard camp can accommodate more than a dozen disabled veterans."

In the battalion, disabled veterans served as instructors, a method that was not found in later generations. However, Zhuge Liang's soul is a guest of later generations, and there are references on the Internet in later generations, especially in the novels of the sect leader.

Disabled veterans are all combat-savvy and experienced, and it is enough to train new recruits.

Hearing this, Liu Bei, who had been in battle for a long time, was also dumbfounded.

More pawn camps?

Disabled veterans serve as instructors and team leaders in the guard battalion?

Uncle Liu Huang was silently thinking in his heart.

In this era, recruiting the army has never been said to train the recruits first and then send them to the army.

The princes recruit new soldiers, they are directly in the army, and the generals and colonels themselves will practice, as for whether they can pass the drill, it can only be a matter of opinion. In many cases, after recruits are recruited into the army, it will not be long before they are pulled into the battlefield, and after a few battles, those who can survive are naturally qualified veterans.

Such a posture of using and training recruits, now that I think about it, is not right.

Now, according to the suggestion of the military advisor Kong Ming, each county has set up more battalions, and one battalion is 500 recruits, and the disabled veterans who have retired from the battlefield have been trained for half a year, and almost all of them can be qualified.

At the very least, you can understand the orders and know how to fight on the battlefield, right?

In this way, it is much better than pulling the recruits directly into the battlefield.

Of course, the most important thing is that the permanent camp will be able to send qualified soldiers to the army every year. It will not be after the war, when the army suffers serious battle losses, it will be necessary to temporarily replenish the number of young and strong people.

"Well, after the capture of Xicheng, we must establish a guard camp."

At this moment, what Uncle Liu Huang was silently thinking about in his heart was the idea of changing the camp.

……

After a long silence, Liu Bei had already made up his mind before asking: "Even so, there are still many disabled veterans who have not been found. Especially for those disabled veterans who are disabled and blind, how should they be arranged? ”

Yes, one team of auxiliaries (government service) in each county, plus the more important team of instructors, is only seventy people. This is a drop in the bucket compared to the number of disabled veterans after a major war.

Take Fangling County, for example.

The attack on Fangling County was not fierce, but there were about 260 disabled people who needed to retire. Even if Fangling County sets up a team of auxiliaries and a guard battalion, it will only settle 70 people, and there are nearly 200 people left, how should they settle down?

In addition, some of the disabled veterans had crippled legs and some were blind in their eyes.

It's impossible to let such a disabled veteran enter the auxiliary army or the corpse position of the pawn camp, right?
